Jamal Musiala continued his scintillating form with an early goal, with Florian Wirtz and Tim Kleindienst bagging braces as a confident Germany rampaged to a clear win over Bosnia-Herzegovina in Freiburg.

Germany 7-0 Bosnia-Herzegovina
Goals: 1-0 Musiala 2' (assist: Kimmich), 2-0 Kleindienst 23' (assist Andrich), 3-0 Havertz 37' (assist: Wirtz), 4-0 Wirtz 50', 5-0 Wirtz 57' (assist: Havertz), 6-0 Sané 66' (assist: Havertz), 7-0 Kleindienst 79' (assist: Rüdiger)

Despite the lingering fog in Freiburg, it was clear to see from the very start that Germany are a team that have increasingly found their groove under Julian Nagelsmann. The hosts attacked from the outset and promptly took the lead in the second minute as Joshua Kimmich floated a cross into the far post where in-form Bayern Munich attacking jewel Musiala dispatched a header straight past St. Pauli goalkeeper Nikola Vasilj. Buoyed by the early opener, Germany continued to swarm forward with further goals looking a mere matter of time - until Borussia Mönchengladbach striker Kleindienst diverted Robert Andrich's shot from outside the area into the net for his first international goal on his third appearance. Kai Havertz then had a header turned onto the post in stunning fashion by Vasilj as Germany's complete dominance continued. The former Bayer Leverkusen playmaker then linked up with current Leverkusen attacking master Florian Wirtz to play a superb one-two before slotting in a third before the break. 

There was no change in the flow of the play after the restart, with Germany tirelessly tearing forward once more. Wirtz swerved a delightful free-kick under the crossbar for Germany's fourth within minutes of the restart. The 21-year-old playmaker then completed a quickfire brace when a Havertz shot from a tight angle was parried into his path by Vasilj and he simply had to bundle the ball in at the far post. Leroy Sané had a great chance for a sixth saved within minutes of coming on, and fellow substitute Serge Gnabry chased the ball into the side netting when presented with an open goal. Sané made no mistake in taking down a chipped pass from Havertz superbly before slamming in a sixth via Vasilj's hands. Kleindienst slid to meet an Antonio Rüdiger cross and completed his brace by making it seven. Seemingly only Germany could stop themselves scoring by this stage, with Gnabry accidentally blocking a Pascal Groß effort bound for an empty net at the far post.
